Are you quite sure you're on the right forum? This is the one where clothes (and details) matter - and they matter even if only the wearer can see them. However in this case, the wearer clearly wanted us to see them, so I gave some feedback. That's really all.

Bought a pair of shirling lined anthracite boots and kept waiting for the first snow to inaugurate them. Turns out we won't be having snow till march. Thanks Obama.Warning: Spoiler!(Click to show)

need to shorten the laces.

These boots make a classy statement. Certainly, they are an example how function can co-exist with style.

As for snow, come to Michigan! Right now, the snowbanks by my driveway are nearly 4 feet deep. More snow is expected by the end of the week. The windchill, this morning, is -20 (F). I could use those boots, right now.

Every day, I look forward to seeing your posts, and today, I was not disappointed. IMO, this is one of your most dazzling: the checks on the coat, the color/fabric of the tie, those cuffs!, the polka dot socks, and finally, those boots. Very dashing!
